Additional Delivery Terms

  • If you are unable to be at home to accept your delivery, you may leave instructions, in advance, to leave your goods with a neighbour/nominated person. Please make us aware of any special delivery instructions prior to dispatch as we will be unable to change the address once delivery has been despatched.
  • If you are unable to meet the delivery, then this will be classed as a failed delivery and we would rearrange but this will incur an extra cost.
  • Please note that we cannot hold stock for you in our warehouse to be delivered at a later date.
  • We cannot be held responsible for a change of delivery date due to anything we deem as an act of nature such as bad weather, ill health or traffic issues etc.
  • If you decide to cancel an order once dispatched, then a refund will be given however you will be charged a handling fee – see our cancellation policy for details.
  • Most furniture set deliveries will be made on pallets, this is to ensure that your order arrives in perfect condition. The delivery driver will not be able to carry the furniture up or down steps, carry the furniture through a property, wheel the pallet across a gravel driveway or up particularly steep driveways. Unfortunately, the delivery company will be unable to remove items from the pallet or take the pallet away with them. The driver will normally only be able to wheel the pallet as far as physically possible which may even be the kerbside. If the driver agrees on request by the customer to move the goods beyond the kerbside then the customer accepts responsibility of any damage or injury incurred.

Pallet deliveries (Garden Furniture & BBQs) cannot be made:

  • On to soft ground such as grass, gravel, or soil.
  • To premises where it is illegal for a lorry to park or offload.
  • Where the surface of the access road is very unstable, soft or muddy.
  • Where the access road is on a steep incline.
  • Where the access road does not provide 10 feet (3.05m) width clearance and 14 feet (4.27m) vertical clearance.

If you are not available when the delivery is made, then this will be classed as a failed delivery. We will rearrange a new delivery date however an extra cost will be incurred. You can nominate a neighbour/designated person to receive the delivery on your behalf, however this must be arranged before delivery is dispatched by email confirmation.

What happens if my delivery isn’t made on the agreed date?

If we are unable to deliver your purchase for any reason such as bad traffic, bad weather, ill health etc. we would offer an alternative delivery date with no extra cost. If an alternative date cannot be agreed, then we would happily offer a full refund.
